Entry 2 Front Door Wreath

N/A

What day was the photo taken? 

December 9, 2009

Photo Description 

Front Door Wreath: The front door was under a covered porch, so really dark, with two small lighted Christmas trees on either side of the top of the steps. I took a shot first with a flash. My goal was to try to get the picture as close as I could to the one taken with a flash with just camera settings. I really did learn a lot on this one but got close I think. I wanted to do reverse thirds but there was a number on the door so tried to use the bow and top of the door as a thirds eye catcher with the bow tails leading the eye hopefully down to the curve of the wreath and around it. I was able to use a tripod for this one thank God.

Advice 

  • Tripod, 1/10 f2.8, ISO 800, white balance set This assignment has pushed me to learn more and the rest of you are doing really great in spite of weather problems.
